seventh Day Adventist Mission

After spending some minutes in an
his text Matt. 17:5. "This is My be-
loved Son, in whom [ am well pleased ;
hear We him." While there is but a
slight difference of opinion among theo-
logians regarding the Sabbath during
the Old Dispensation, they differ very
materially concerning it's observance in
this. 1t is a self-evident fact that truth
has but one side; and it is either
wrong to sablatize on the seventh day of
the week, or it is the duty of all to en-
gage in it.
Mr.. Curtis stated that if he was wrong
in the observance of the seventh day
he would give it up and preach the pop
ular theory just as soon as person
would show him his error from the
Bible. He said: am willing to abide
by the command in the last clause Of
the text.
He then referred to Matt. 8 II, where
Christ plainly declares that he did not
come to destroy (abrogate, abolish) the
law or the Prophets, but to fulfill. We
get an inspired definition of "fulfill'' by
referring to the marginal note on Col.
:25, which is Gully to preach" Then
Christ came not to destroy, but fully to
preach the law. This he began in this
same sermon. See Matt. 5 81, %, 27,
70 He then explained the got" and
little" spoken of in the 18th verse Of
the same chapter, from which he made
very forcible argument for the Sabbath.
lie next commented on the life of
Christ, showing that it was the custom
to keep the Sabbath. See Luke :16.
1t was then shown that Christ based
eternal life upon obedience to his
Fathers law; Matt. 10 IL. The speaker
made a very forcible argument on Luke

sible at once to public opinion and the
Government, and could not fail OF effect

Any one who has had practical ex-

with US in these remarks; and the Gov

Let the Minister of the Interior, Mr..

SHOOTING ARRAY.
Deputy Sheriff Evans Shoots a China
man at Lahaina.

Yesterday morning the steamer Wal
aleale arrived from Lahaina, Maui. One
of her passengers was Mr.. Thomas Z.
Evans, the recently appointed Deputy
Sheriff at Lahaina, Maui, who shot
Chinaman at Lahaina last Saturday. 1t
appears that about eight o'clock that
evening Mr.. Evans, with a policeman,
went out with a search warrant to arrest
some Cinnamon suspected OF being
opium smokers and gamblers. The
house where these men lived was sit
uated in the midst of the canefelds. Ar
irving at the place Mr.. Evans came
across:two Chinese smoking opium, and
arrested them, giving them into the
charge of the policeman. Evans then
entered another room where smoking
was going on, and saw three Chinese.
He grabbed one and was after another,
when the latter reached for pair OF
scissors. Evans drew his pistol, which
caused the Chinaman to throw down the
scissors. At that moment another man
made for Evans, and in the scuffie which
took place the pistol went off, the ball
striking and killing the Chinaman
who he first took hold of. Evans at
once picked him up and laid him on the
bed, and then went with all haste after q
doctor. When the latter arrived on the
ball entering near the heart. He was
unable to find the ball. A policeman
was sent over to Wailuku to inform
Sheriff Everett OF the a1fray, and the
next day he sent Mr.. Henry G.. Tread
way, Deputy Sheriff at Waikiki, to La
haina, to act as Coroner and hold an in
quest. He impanelled a jury, and after
viewing the body evidence was taken,
occupying Sunday and Monday. The
jury brought in the following verdict:
An inquisition taken at Lahaina, Island
of Maui, on the 9th day of February, and
adjourned over to the 28th day of Febru-
airy, 1887, before H. q. Treadway, Deputy
Sheriff of the Island of Maui, and acting
Coroner of said island, upon the body of
Wong Man (Chinese), there lying dead, by
the oaths of the jurors whose names are
hereuntO subscribed who, being sworn to
inquire when, how and by what means the
said Wong Man came to his death, upon
their oaths do say:
That the said Wong Man came to his
death on the night of the Goth February
A D. 1887, at Lahaina, Island of Maui, by
the accidental discharge of pistol in the
hands of one Thomas f. Evans, Deputy
Sheriff of said Lahaina, while in the dis
charge of his duty as Deputy Marshal.
In testimony whereof, the said Coroner
and the jurors of this inquest have here

Diplomats at Dinner at the White
House.
Under this heading the Washington
correspondent of the New York "Sun"
gives a report of the first diplomatic din
ner at the White House since President
Cleveland's marriage. There were forty
one covers, and the state dining room
was profusely decorated with palms and
azaleas in the window recesses. The
mantels were a mass of red tulips and
fine ferns, and pots of asters were dis
posed about the room. The table was a
triumph OF the florists skill in the large
center piece, designated the hanging
gardens of Semiramis, set on the long
mirror Stimulating a lake, on which
foated tiny birch canoes laden with
flowers. The hanging gardens were of
roses and carnations, smilaX and acacia,
in a series of arches with canopied tops.
1t was unique fancy, and was fully four
feet in length and perhaps one and a
half in height. At the ends of the mir
ror were high gilt bowls of Marechal
Neil roses. The ends of the table had
cushions of carnations in color sections
and bordered with roses. The bouquets
at the plates were of roses, each variety
massed separately, and lilies of the val
ley. Boutonnieres for the men were of
single buds.
The President took in Nine. Romero,
wife of the Mexican Minister, who sat
on his right. Mrs. Carter, wife of the
Hawaiian Minister, sat on his left. Mrs
Cleveland was taken in by the Dean of
the corps, Mr. Preston, Minister from
Hayti, who sat on her right. The Sec
rotary of State sat at Mrs. Cleveland's
left hand. Other guests on that side of
the table were the Hawaiian Minister
and wife of the Brazilian Minister, the
Swedish Minister and Mrs Lamont, the
Swiss Minister and Nine Reuterskiold,
the German Minister and Miss Kings
ford. On the Presidents side of the
table were the British Minister and Mrs.
Chaplin, George Bancroft, the Bolivian
and Salvador Ministers, the Mexican
Minister and Mrs Banks. the
Netherland and CHILEAN Ministers
At the east end of the table
were the Brazilian Minister and Sonora
Moreno, the Russian Minister and Mrs.
Fairchild, the French Minister and Miss
Sternberg, and the Chinese Minister.
AT the west end We're the Spanish Min
lister and Miss West, the Belgian Minis
Minister and Nine. Cana, and the
Argentine Minister. The four corner
seats were occupied by the Charge DAT
flares from Austria, Turkey, Venezuela
and Italy, who are acting Ministers at
this time. The Japanese Minister was

CHOLERA SHIP AFLOAT.

The annexed dispatch, which appeared
in the New York "Sun," February Sd,
seems to have escaped the notice of
Pacific Coast newspapers. We print it
as warning to the Board Of Health, be-
cause there is possibility of the ship in
question putting in to Honolulu for sup
plies on her voyage from Valparaiso to
an Oregon port. Even were this not to
happen there is frequent direct cOmmun-
ication between Hawaiian ports and
Oregon and Puget Sound ports, and it is
well to be guarded at all points. The
dispatch is as follows:
VALPARAISO, Chill, January 24th.-The
English ship Swansea Castle, which arrived
a few days ago from a cholera port on the
east coast, was not allowed to enter Chill.
The unfortunate vessel has at length been
able to 90 on her way to Portland, Oregon.
On last Saturday the Amazonas delivered
by means of line and at respectful dis
lance, to the Captain of the Swansea Castle
a boat containing some bags of flour and
biscuits, fresh and salt beef and vegetables.
After inspecting the stock the Captain
shouted that it was insufficient for the vOy-
age, and that he should not move from
the mouth of the harbor until he received
a further supply of provisions, thousand
gallons of water, and the necessary charts.
On Tuesday the additional supply of pro-
visions and the charts were sent to the
Swansea Castle with the same precautions,
and on Wednesday she sailed for her des-
tination. The second supply of provisions
was provided by the authorities, under the
guarantee of the British Consul.
